Studies show that with the rise of AI chatbots and social media, average human attention has dropped from 2.5 minutes in 2003 to 47 seconds in 2020, with frequent attention switching increasing stress, reducing productivity, and potentially causing addiction in children.

AI security risks extend beyond super-intelligent threats to simple prompt-based exploits, while over-reliance on chatbots may degrade human attention spans, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence.
